(n) Intellectual Property.

(i) Section 3.3(n)(i) of the Target Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, accurate, and complete list of: (1) all U.S. and foreign registered or issued Intellectual Property and applications owned or licensed by a Target Company or otherwise used or held for use by a Target Company in which a Target Company is the owner, applicant or assignee (“Target Registered IP”), specifying as to each item, as applicable: (A) the nature of the item, including the title, (B) the owner of the item, (C) the jurisdictions in which the item is issued or registered or in which an application for issuance or registration has been filed and (D) the issuance, registration or application numbers and dates; and (2) all material unregistered trademarks and service marks. Each item of Target Registered IP is valid, subsisting and enforceable. Each Target Company owns, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens or any Liens set out on Section 3.3(n)(i) of the Target Disclosure Letter), has valid and enforceable rights in, and has the right to use, sell, license, transfer or assign, all Intellectual Property currently used, licensed or held for use by such Target Company, and previously used or licensed by such Target Company. No item of Target Registered IP that consists of a pending Patent application fails to identify all pertinent inventors, and for each Patent and Patent application in the Target Registered IP, the Target Companies have obtained valid assignments of inventions from each inventor. Except as set forth on Section 3.3(n)(i) of the Target Disclosure Letter, all Target Registered IP and other Owned Intellectual Property are owned exclusively by the applicable Target Company without obligation to pay royalties, licensing fees or other fees, or otherwise account to any third party with respect to such Target Registered IP and other Owned Intellectual Property, and such Target Company has recorded assignments of all Target Registered IP.

(ii) Each Target Company has a valid and enforceable written license or other valid right to use all other Target IP, including Intellectual Property that is the subject of the Target IP Licenses applicable to such Target Company. The Target IP Licenses include all of the licenses, sublicenses and other agreements or permissions necessary to operate the Target Companies as presently conducted. Each Target Company has performed all obligations imposed on it in the Target IP Licenses, has made all payments required to date, and such Target Company is not, nor, to the Knowledge of the Target, is any other party thereto, in breach or default thereunder, nor has any event occurred that with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default thereunder. The continued use by the Target Companies of the Intellectual Property that is the subject of the Target IP Licenses in the same manner that it is currently being used is not restricted by any applicable license of any Target Company. All registrations for Intellectual Property that are owned by or exclusively licensed to any Target Company are valid, in force and in good standing with all required fees and maintenance fees having been paid with no Legal Proceedings pending, and all applications to register any Intellectual Property are pending and in good standing, all without challenge of any kind. No Target Company is party to any Contract that requires a Target Company to assign to any Person any or all of its rights in any Intellectual Property developed by a Target Company under such Contract.

(iii) Each Target Company has performed all material obligations imposed on it in each material license, sublicense and other agreement under which a Target Company is the licensor (each, an “Outbound IP License”), and such Target Company is not, nor, to the Target’s Knowledge, is any other party thereto, in material breach or default thereunder, nor, to the Knowledge of the Target, has any event occurred that with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a material default thereunder.

(iv) No Legal Proceeding is pending or, to the Target’s Knowledge, threatened against a Target Company that challenges the validity, enforceability, ownership, or right to use, sell, license or sublicense, or that otherwise relates to, any Target IP, nor, to the Knowledge of the Target, is there any reasonable basis for any such Legal Proceeding. No Target Company has received any written or, to the Knowledge of the Target, oral notice or claim asserting that any infringement, misappropriation, violation, dilution or unauthorized use of the Intellectual Property of any other Person is or may be occurring or has or may have occurred, as a consequence of the business activities of any Target Company, nor to the Knowledge of the Target is there a reasonable basis therefor. There are no Orders to which any Target Company is a party or its otherwise bound that (i) restrict the rights of a Target Company to use, transfer, license or enforce any Intellectual Property owned by a Target Company, (ii) restrict the conduct of the business of a Target Company in order to accommodate a third Person’s Intellectual Property, or (iii) other than the Outbound IP Licenses, grant any third Person any right with respect to any Intellectual Property owned by a Target Company. No Target Company is currently infringing, or has, in the past, six (6) years, infringed, misappropriated or violated any Intellectual Property of any other Person in any material respect in connection with the ownership, use or license of any Owned Intellectual Property or otherwise in connection with the conduct of the respective businesses of the Target Companies. To the Target’s Knowledge, no third party is currently, or in the past six (6) years has been, infringing upon, misappropriating or otherwise violating any Target IP.

(v) No current or former officers, employees or independent contractors of a Target Company has any ownership interest in any Owned Intellectual Property and no Person has claimed or asserted in writing any ownership interest or other rights in or to any Owned Intellectual Property. To the Target’s Knowledge, there has been no violation of a Target Company’s policies or practices related to protection of Target IP or any confidentiality or nondisclosure Contract relating to the Intellectual Property owned by a Target Company. To the Target’s Knowledge, none of the employees of any Target Company is obligated under any Contract, or subject to any Order, that would materially interfere with the use of such employee’s reasonable efforts to promote the interests of the Target Companies, or that would materially conflict with the business of any Target Company as presently conducted or contemplated to be conducted. Each Target Company has taken commercially reasonable efforts and security measures designed to maintain the security of all material Owned Intellectual Property, including measures designed to protect the secrecy and confidentiality of the material Target IP. All Persons who have participated in or contributed to the creation or development of any material Owned Intellectual Property have executed written agreements pursuant to which all of such Person’s right, title and interest in and to any such Owned Intellectual Property has been irrevocably assigned (by a present tense assignment) to the Target Companies (or all such right, title, and interest vested in the Target Companies by operation of Law).

ARTICLE 4

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state, provincial territorial and federal U.S. and Canadian securities laws, as applicable. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of the Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(c), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and, if permitted pursuant to the terms thereof, the Registration Rights Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, if a party thereto.

(b) Subject to applicable securities laws, including Canadian securities laws, the Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Target Securities in the following form:

UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS 4 MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER THE LATER OF (I) [DATE OF DISTRIBUTION], AND (II) THE DATE THE ISSUER BECAME A REPORTING ISSUER IN ANY PROVINCE OR TERRITORY OF CANADA.

(b) The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Company Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Company Securities to the pledgees or secured parties; provided, however, that, as a prerequisite to such pledge, the Purchaser shall (x) provide notice to the Company of such pledge or transfer at least five (5) Business Days prior thereto and (y) cause to be delivered to the Company customary legal opinions of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party and pledgor as shall be reasonably requested by the Company in connection therewith. Thereafter, at the Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Company Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Company Securities, including, if the Company Securities are subject to registration pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling securityholders thereunder.

(d) Certificates (or reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry, as applicable) evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(c) hereof): (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or (iii) as otherwise provided in the Company Closing Articles or applicable Canadian securities laws. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend under Section 4.1(c) or if requested by the Purchaser, respectively, in each case, if the proposed sale is to be made pursuant to an effective registration statement or subject to an exemption from registration under the federal securities laws. If all or any Company Preferred Shares are converted or any portion of a Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), or if the Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as to such Underlying Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) or as provided in the Company Closing Articles or Company Warrants, then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(d), it will, no later than the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate (or reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry, as applicable) representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate (or reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry, as applicable) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.1. Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Purchaser. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate (or reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry, as applicable) representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend.

(e) The Purchaser agrees with the Company that the Purchaser will sell any Company Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable Canadian securities laws, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Company Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein and will not be sold if the Purchaser knows or has reason to know that the Commission has issued a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and the Purchaser acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates (or reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry, as applicable) representing Company Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

4.2 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding Common Shares, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against the Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other shareholders of the Company.

4.3 Furnishing of Information; Public Information. Until the time that the Purchaser does not own any Company Securities, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the registration of the Common Shares under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

4.4 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Company Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Company Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Company Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require shareholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

4.5 Conversion and Exercise Procedures. Each of the form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants and the form of Notice of Conversion included in the Company Closing Articles set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchaser in order to exercise the Company Warrants or convert its Company Preferred Shares. Without limiting the preceding sentences, no ink-original Notice of Exercise or Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise or Notice of Conversion form be required in order to exercise the Company Warrants or convert its Company Preferred Shares. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchaser to exercise its Company Warrants or convert its Company Preferred Shares. The Company shall honor exercises of the Purchaser’s Company Warrants and conversions of the Purchaser’s Company Preferred Shares and shall deliver Underlying Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

4.6 Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity. Neither the Company nor the Target shall publicly disclose the name of the Purchaser, or include the name of the Purchaser in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except (a) as required by federal, provincial or territorial securities law or requested by the staff of the Commission, the BCSC or any similar securities commission in connection with (i) any filings in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) any registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or prospectus and (iii) the filing of final Transaction Documents with the Commission, the BCSC or any similar securities commission and (b) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide the Purchaser with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under this clause (b).

4.7 Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that exclusively as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement the Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that the Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents.

4.8 Non-Public Information. The Company and the Target covenant and agree that neither they, nor any other Person acting on their behalf will provide the Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company and the Target reasonably believe constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Purchaser shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company and the Target to keep such information confidential. To the extent that the Company, the Target or any of their respective officers, director, agents, employees or Affiliates delivers any material, non-public information to the Purchaser without the Purchaser’s consent, the Company and the Target hereby covenant and agree that the Purchaser shall not have any duty of trust or confidentiality to the Company, the Target or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company, the Target or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade while aware of, such material, non-public information, provided that the Purchaser shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or the Target, the Company shall if reasonably practicable simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company and the Target understand and confirm that the Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

4.9 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for general corporate and working capital purposes, in the Company’s exclusive discretion.

4.10 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will indemnify and hold each Purchaser Party harmless from any and all Losses that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents (unless such Loss is primarily based upon a material breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state, provincial, territorial or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct).

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Target will indemnify and hold each Purchaser Party, harmless from any and all Losses that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Target Companies found exclusively in Section 3.3, covenants or agreements made by the Target in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents (unless such Loss is primarily based upon a material breach of such Purchaser Party’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Purchaser Party may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state, provincial, territorial, or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct).

(c) Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Purchaser will, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold (i) each Company Party and (ii) each Target Party, harmless from any and all Losses that any such Company party or Target Party (as applicable) may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents (unless such Loss is primarily based upon a material breach of such Company Party’s or Target Party’s (as applicable) representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings such Company Party or Target Party may have with any such shareholder or any violations by such Company Party or Target Party (as applicable) of state, provincial, territorial or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Company Party or Target Party (as applicable) which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct).

(d) If any Action or Proceeding shall be brought against any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, but the omission to notify such Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party under this Section 4.10 unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Action or Proceeding and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such Action or Proceeding there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Indemnifying Party and the position of such Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

4.11 Reservation and Listing of Securities.

(a) Commencing on the Closing Date, the Company shall maintain a reserve of the Required Minimum from its duly authorized Common Shares for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.

(b) If, on any date following the Closing Date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) Common Shares is less than 100% of (i) the Required Minimum on such date, minus (ii) the number of Common Shares previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents, then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued Common Shares to at least the Required Minimum at such time (minus the number of Common Shares previously issued pursuant to the Transaction Documents), as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 75^th day after such date, provided that the Company will not be required at any time to authorize a number of Common Shares greater than the maximum remaining number of Common Shares that could possibly be issued after such time pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

(c) The Company shall, as applicable: (i) promptly after the Closing Date and in connection with the registration with the Commission of the Underlying Shares, in the manner required by the principal Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering a number of Common Shares at least equal to the Required Minimum on the date of such application, (ii) take all steps reasonably necessary to cause such Common Shares to be approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as practicable thereafter and to provide to the Purchaser evidence of such listing or quotation and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of such Common Shares on any date at least equal to the Required Minimum on such date on such Trading Market or another Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Shares for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.

4.12 Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. The Purchaser covenants that neither it, nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any purchases or sales of any of the Company’s securities during the period commencing with the execution of this Agreement and ending at the Cleanse Time. The Purchaser covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company (the “Cleanse Time”), the Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company and the Target expressly acknowledge and agree that, (i) except as set forth herein, the Purchaser does not make any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Company or the Target after the Cleanse Time and (ii) the Purchaser shall not be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Company in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the Cleanse Time. The Company shall (and the Target shall cooperate with the Company in good faith to the extent reasonably required) (a) issue and disseminate a press release, which publicly discloses the existence of this Agreement and the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and that is reasonably sufficient to cleanse all material non-public information (including, without limitation, the existence and terms of this transaction and any other material non-public information) that has been provided to the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby (the "Cleansing Disclosure"), and (b) may, in addition to (and not as a substitute for) such press release, file a Current Report on Form 8-K (or other public filing with the Commission) that includes the Cleansing Disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Purchaser is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

4.13 Blue Sky Filings. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchaser at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States.

4.14 Privacy. The Purchaser acknowledges and consents to the fact that the Company and Target are collecting personal information (as that term is defined under applicable privacy legislation, including, without limitation, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada) and any other applicable similar, replacement or supplemental provincial or federal legislation or laws in effect from time to time) of the Purchaser for the purpose of completing this Agreement. By accepting the Agreement, the Company and Target agree that it will not collect any information about the Purchaser except that which is provided by the Purchaser in the Agreement and any information required to be disclosed to any regulatory authority or stock exchange or as required by law (the “Subscriber Information”). The Company and Target also agree that it will keep all Subscriber Information confidential, and will use and disclose the Subscriber Information only for the purposes permitted or described herein, unless:

(a) the Company and/or Target inform the Purchaser of a proposed use or disclosure of the Subscriber Information and the Purchaser consents; or

(b)  is required by law, or by the by-laws, rules, regulations or policies or any regulatory organization or stock exchange governing the Company and/or Target.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall not exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate. It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date thereof forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law. If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to the Purchaser with respect to Indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by the Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such Indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at the Purchaser’s election.

In addition, each and every reference to share prices and Common Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and (iii) the words “herein”, “hereto” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular portion of this Agreement.

______________ Initial

______________ Initial

______________ Initial

The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Securities will be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, and upon the original issuance of the Securities, and until such time as it is no longer required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws, all certificates representing the Securities and all certificates issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, shall bear, in addition to the requisite Canadian or other legend, a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “1933 ACT”) OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING SUCH SECURITIES, AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ISSUER THAT SUCH SECURITIES MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) TO THE ISSUER, (B) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATION S UNDER THE 1933 ACT, (C) IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER, IF AVAILABLE, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS, OR (D) IN A TRANSACTION THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE 1933 ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND THE SELLER, PRIOR TO SUCH SALE UNDER (C) OR (D) ABOVE, FURNISHES TO THE ISSUER AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OF RECOGNIZED STANDING, OR OTHER EVIDENCE, IN EACH CASE IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER AND ITS REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT TO SUCH EFFECT.

¹       In determining “net worth”, exclude the value of the person’s principal residence and any related mortgages secured thereby, except that if the amount of such indebtedness on the date of sale of the securities exceeds the amount of such indebtedness outstanding 60 days prior to the date of sale, other than as a result of the acquisition of the primary residence, the amount of such excess should be included as a liability. In addition, if the aggregate mortgage debt related to the principal residence exceeds the value of the residence, that excess further reduces the person’s net worth to the extent that the excess liability is with recourse against the person.

provided, that if any of the Securities are being sold under clause (B) above (and in compliance with Canadian local laws and regulations), at a time when the Issuer is a “foreign issuer” as defined in Rule 902 under the 1933 Act, the legend set forth above may be removed by providing a declaration for removal of legend in a form satisfactory to the Issuer, or such other evidence of exemption as the Issuer may from time to time prescribe, including, but not limited to, an opinion of counsel or other evidence of exemption, in either case reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, to the effect that the sale of the securities is being made in compliance with Regulation S under the 1933 Act.

The foregoing representations and warranties are true and accurate as of the date of this certificate and will be true and accurate as of the issue date of the Securities (the “Issue Date”). If any such representation or warranty shall not be true and accurate prior to the Issue Date, the Purchaser shall give prompt written notice of such fact to the Issuer.

Dated as of the date set forth above.
